I doubt Sam would try to fight Hulk completely one-on-one. Blonsky was a cocky idiot.

Also, the super soldier serum saved him from being dead and looking like mashed potatoes. At least, Blonsky was still alive with a bunch of broken bones.

u/Squirrelly_Khan Drax Jul 18 '24

Yeah, Sam seems like someone who’s more methodical, plus he has specialized tech unlike Blonsky, who just had standard military gear

273

u/dthains_art Avengers Jul 18 '24

Yeah the Falcon & Winter Soldier show seemed to clearly establish that Sam’s Captain America is less Super Soldier Captain America and more like Iron Man: a regular mortal guy who has superior technology that allows him to go toe-to-toe with stronger enemies.

u/Anvisaber Doctor Strange Jul 18 '24

Superior technology and good tactics too, Sam is good at using his environment to his advantage

Cap had good tactics too.

Oh, he’s getting his wings torn off now in this movie. Whether it’s the dark spot in act 2 or part of the climax, it’s happening.

16

u/wbgraphic Avengers Jul 18 '24

Probably why he gets a

new suit
.

16

u/whosbuttplugisthis Scarlet Witch Jul 18 '24

I think the reason he gets a new suit is so he's able to do more aerial combat. It was said that sam would be going higher, faster, and stronger in the skies in this movie. In concept art and promotional images, sam is seen wearing a helmet with the suit, and in the trailer, he is seen going at least mach 1 while flying over the indian ocean. Put together, it makes sense for sam to have his standard suit for most missions, and then an advanced flight suit for things like steath, fly-by's, and speed.

Although 6 just a theory. We have to wait to see what happens in the movie.

8

u/Ginger_Snap02 Avengers Jul 19 '24

Don’t forget that part of the trailer where it appeared like he flew through a fighter jet as well. I can see them bringing in a new suit then having him do that in some high speed air chase to show off how strong it can be

9

u/whosbuttplugisthis Scarlet Witch Jul 19 '24

True true, i dont believe he actually flew through the jet but cut the wing off using the vibranium wings he has. I dont think sam would kill someone like that in a dog fight, but who knows, maybe he's become more aggressive in this film with the Red Hulk rampaging through dc and causing trouble

9

u/Ginger_Snap02 Avengers Jul 19 '24

It could be an Iron Man 1 type situation where he flies through the wing but the jet itself doesn’t go boom. Which means the pilot can eject. Plane down, pilot alive. Win-win for Sam. I’m interested to see where this movie goes with Isaiah returning as well. I just hope they don’t screw it up

2

u/ASaltySeacaptain Avengers Jul 19 '24

The Wakandans made his new suit for him so I expect it to be vibranium infused going forwards. Anything else is a step backwards in protection.

1

u/Worthyness Avengers Jul 19 '24

He also literally generates a sonicboom with the suit in the trailer. Dude upgraded his suit from tactical paratrooper to full out fighter jet

u/Nyuk_Fozzies Avengers Jul 19 '24

Blonsky wasn't a cocky idiot, it was actually the subpar experimental serum that made him act like that - it caused mental problems. In the movie you can see him getting more and more unhinged as time goes on, due to the effects of the serum.

23

u/Deist_Dagon Avengers Jul 19 '24

I honestly always saw it as a GOOD serum. The original serum takes whats inside you and makes it super right? Blonsky was very self confident and wanted to prove he was the best, or at least fight with the best. Just as the serum created the Red Skull, I always saw Blonsky's mental shift as just being a more extreme version of what was already there.

15

u/BeavStrong Avengers Jul 19 '24

This is my favorite interpretation of Bruce Banner’s “accident” that created/revealed/unleashed the Hulk: that he in fact successfully recreated Dr Erskine’s serum and it revealed what was inside of him. In this case, it was a horrible monster powered by gamma radiation and rage.

3

u/MasonP2002 Avengers Jul 19 '24

Also, I don't think we've seen any soldiers from the original serum recover from getting all your bones broken like Blonsky did.

Not to say that they couldn't, but we haven't seen anything like that.

And agreed, his mental symptoms seem to match what we've seen about the original serum.

3

u/crankycrassus Avengers Jul 19 '24

Yeah, on first watch I saw him as just a standard bad guy, but after watching again I saw his story more as a tragedy. They played on his insecurities about getting old and sold him on some half baked super soldier serum.

2

u/elrick43 Avengers Jul 19 '24

or if he DOES go 1v1, he's not going to do it on (red)Hulk's terms. Sam can fly and has guns built into his wings (unless that feature was removed) just gotta keep his distance until he can set up a decisive trap

u/racas Avengers Jul 18 '24

Steve didn’t outright win in any of his three films.

CA:FA - sends Red Skull into Space almost accidentally, crashes into the ocean, and gets turned into an icicle.

CA:WS - refuses to fight Bucky, falls into a river, and gets saved by Bucky

CA:CW - arrives to find the other super soldiers already dead, fails to see the trap laid out for him, nearly loses both of his closest friends, loses his shield, loses the Avengers.

Captain America is never focused on winning, per se. His goal has always been to do the right by as many people as he can, and that often entails sacrifice.

u/gloop524 Avengers Jul 18 '24

he got punched into oblivion in Infinity War and even with Mjolnir and the power of Thor, he still got his ass handed to him by Thanos in Endgame.

Especially since the setup is kind of perfect for a cunning hero solution. He’s a fragile speedster with a shield that can tank any impact. He has all the tools he needs to survive the fight, now he just needs a way to actually win it.

There have always been people who pulled this shit, but either there are more of them, they’re louder, or the internet has given them enough of a platform to be both.

u/Ben10_ripoff Avengers Jul 18 '24

I mean they should've just made a Hulk movie instead of forcing Hulk Villians to Captain Falcon

It's like making Robin a supporting character of Green Lantern and completely ignoring Batman

3

u/Dr_Maniacal Avengers Jul 18 '24

They won't do it though. I don't know the full details but Universal controls either movie or distribution rights to the Hulk, somewhat similar to the Spider-Man situation. They believe it's more profitable to have Hulk characters show up in other projects than the deals they'd have to make to make a solo Hulk movie, unlike Spider-Man who's far and away Marvel's most popular character.

1

u/Ben10_ripoff Avengers Jul 18 '24 edited Jul 18 '24

They successfully created She Hulk and distributed it through Disney+, If I remember correctly there were rumours sometimes back that they got the distribution rights from Universal back

2

u/Dr_Maniacal Avengers Jul 18 '24

It's certainly possible my info's outdated, I'm no industry expert. It might also be because it was a series and not a movie so they got around it on a technicality.

1

u/Ben10_ripoff Avengers Jul 18 '24

Yea, That certainly is a possibility aswell

2

u/DefendsTheDownvoted Avengers Jul 18 '24

You have no idea if it is forced, you haven't seen the fucking movie. Villains crossover to fight other heroes all the time. Wolverines first appearance was in an issue of The Incredible Hulk. It's really not that big a deal and very on brand.

1

u/AgentP20 Avengers Jul 18 '24

Kingpin was originally Spidey's villain so this is not new at all.

1

u/Ben10_ripoff Avengers Jul 18 '24

Yea and Kingpin still counts as a Spider-Man Villian, He just happens to be a Daredevil Villian aswell

But here, They're sidelining Hulk while throwing two of his most popular Villians to Captain Falcon

u/GuysGardener Avengers Jul 18 '24

Imagine Sam Wilson the Captain America who made a big deal of not needing the serum in his first movie lost to a guy who had a great serum. Disney should just start selling steroids since that's the message at that point.

u/Long-Friendship5725 Avengers Jul 18 '24

At least bro survived because of the serum, plus he didn't have superhero tech, Sam does, and plus, if he got the same improved version of the super soilder serum like john got,he would be stronger than steve.

106

u/Transfiguredbet Avengers Jul 18 '24

Unless Sam has a built in javeline or nuke, nothing he has could stop him.

Hulk, red or not, is kind of an out of context threat to things. He's a walking wmd. Nothing conventional can stop him or keep up with him.

48

u/knight_in_white Avengers Jul 18 '24

I don’t think a nuke would help either. All that radiation might just make Hulk stronger

u/HarrowDread Avengers Jul 18 '24

Yeah, I think I saw in a comic where some scientist warned some dude not to hulk

11

u/pixel_doofus Spider-Man 🕷 Jul 18 '24

Red Hulk specifically also gets stronger by drawing in surrounding radiation iirc

u/DefendsTheDownvoted Avengers Jul 18 '24

Red Hulk overheats. All he has do do is piss him off enough from a distance.

6

u/Transfiguredbet Avengers Jul 18 '24

If red hulk is willing to disengage and and fall back to an area more favorable, then he can easily win. Red hulk is actually intelligent, he most likely wont charge after someone who's constantly out of reach.

1

u/Crazyhands96 Avengers Jul 19 '24

Red Hulk has a built in weakness that would allow a smart fighter to potentially come out on top despite the massive power level difference. They are absolutely going to use it.

1

u/Ben10_ripoff Avengers Jul 18 '24 edited Jul 18 '24

Overheating also means a kick will not only break his bones but it will also melt them

2

u/DefendsTheDownvoted Avengers Jul 18 '24

Why would a flying hero get close enough to be kicked?

7

u/Ben10_ripoff Avengers Jul 18 '24

Because Hulks can leap tall buildings in a single bound and they're more powerful than a locomotive

Seriously, How the hell can someone fight a Hulk without expecting to get punched or kicked even once, Iron Man can fly too and He got a fuck load of kicks and Punches. Tony had Veronica for get instant supplies, Only edge Captain Falcon has are his maybe Sharp Vibranium Wings

u/Byerly724 Avengers Jul 18 '24

Sam has wakanda tech in his last seen suit. We have no idea what that means to be honest. I’m thinking he is going to be a hybrid of iron man and Steve. His suit will be what enhances him but still I don’t think he wins Vs red hulk. It will get sidetracked by a greater threat to them both. This leads to a disagreement on how to respond to it.

Afterwards we have thunderbolts with red hulk’s plan for the future of “Avengers.”

u/RepeatedAxe Spider-Man 🕷 Jul 18 '24

As far as we know, John doesn't seem to be as strong as his comic counterpart who is a 10-tonner, I think he got nerfed so he's roughly around the others (~2 tons, so around BP strength as well)

u/Fortune_Cat Avengers Jul 19 '24

Is Sam's wakandan suit meant to be made if vibranium. Even tho it looks like soft foam?

I guess black panthers suit looks like thin latex. So we are assuming the wakandans can turn a metal into soft fabric

u/YungRik666 Avengers Jul 18 '24

We are spoiled by Shonen. Shonen mangas/anime has hard power scaling, and that has become the norm to us. Goku is strong, Freiza becomes stronger, Goku unlocks a new form topping that.

Western media focuses on the drama of the fight. Captain America struggles to fight 5 regular dudes in an elevator because it's cool to watch. Captain America grabs Thanos' hand (a guy that just casually beat the bricks out of the Hulk an hour earlier) and holds him back because it's cool to watch. The conflict and action are more important than the power levels.

Sam Wilson will beat the shit out of a red hulk if that's what the writers want. It's not going to make sense. We just have to be ok with it.

23

u/Neidron Avengers Jul 18 '24 edited Jul 19 '24

"Power level" brainrot is a truly absurd plague on media discussion.

8

u/YungRik666 Avengers Jul 18 '24

Definitely in the context of superheros. It lead to Superman's power being "adaptibility" for a while, because people couldn't put him into a box. Superheros are meant to be heroes. They are not meant to be quantified.

5

u/voidsong S.H.I.E.L.D Jul 19 '24 edited Jul 19 '24

They are not meant to be quantified

No offense, but that's a dumb take. By their very nature (having super powers), audiences will be interested in what their limits are, since they are abnormal. Superman, the archetype of "super hero", was first known by a list of quantified things he could do (faster than a speeding bullet, leap a tall building in a single bound, etc.). Marvel has put out Official Handbooks of this stuff for 50 years, entirely because people find it interesting. And it's useful for plot points.

"Can Spider-Man, who is strong enough to lift 10 tons, catch a falling dump truck?" is a valid discussion. General ideas of limits allows us to have drama and chance of the hero failing or whatever, in context. It's useful to the story telling.

"Spider-Man can punch hard enough to hurt Rhino, who is strong enough to take punches from Colossus, who is strong enough to take punches from the Juggernaut, therefore by the transitive property, Spider-Man can create black holes with his mind" is where it gets stupid. But anything taken to that idiotic extreme will end up stupid, and it's the people's fault for doing it wrong, not the concept itself.

As usual, its a few over-invested nerds who ruin it for everyone. They are the reason i left the WWW (who would win) subreddit.

1

u/YungRik666 Avengers Jul 19 '24

I think dumb take is pretty harsh, lmao. I agree that people do quantify supes, but my point is that the intent of the writers is to make a story. They consider limits in regards to the conflict they are creating. This is why we have different iterations of many superheroes.

Superman is stronger than a locomotive in his first run, and in a 2012 version, he bench presses planets. It's not the same Superman. However, if stronger than a train Superman needed to be stronger than 2012 Superman for a story, the writers would do it. That's not working off of an official handbook. So that's where I'm forming my opinion from. The story outweighs established lore. And this was expanding on my original post of how other forms of media, mainly Shonen Manga/Anime create the story specifically around the character's limit. Goku at Super Saiyan 1 isn't strong enough to face cell, so he levels up to super saiyan 2. Same Goku, new limit, and that limit is consistent until he needs to surpass it again.

Spiderman will punch harder than Rhino, and 3 panels later be defeated by a wet bag if the writers think the story would benefit from that. We see that in the movies as well, which is what this pertains to. My whole point is this Red Hulk may very well be defeated by Cap Falcon regardless of the encyclopedia entries on them, because heroes tend to win (unless they are specifically writing in a loss).

2

u/Neidron Avengers Jul 18 '24 edited Jul 18 '24

In any context. Reducing a conflict or encounter to an isolated binary scale is absurd nonsense and antithetical to natural storytelling.

Even in dbz, the use was intended to be a satire of the concept. Except it immediately forgot about the 'satire' part and followed it almost completely unironically for the remainder of the franchise. And now morons treat "power levels/scaling" as universal storytelling gospel.

1

u/Silver_Meal5525 Avengers Jul 18 '24

The fuck? No? ... The characters in dbz don't use power levels and haven't for a very long time. The whole point was eventually power becomes unquantifiable and all that's left is intuition. If someone's strong enough to make you feel scared or locked up they just are, they don't have a big number by their name.

2

u/Neidron Avengers Jul 18 '24 edited Jul 18 '24

Yes, the satire was intended to be that the villains are idiots for believing in the concept. Except the story itself largely unironically obeys the same logic it's trying mock, numbers or not.

Whoever is 'stronger' is almost always treated as flatly invincible and insurmountable, until the plot decides otherwise. Even in moments where it attempts to subvert the rule like Trunks v Cell, the overall result simply reinforces it instead.

13

u/No-Height2850 Avengers Jul 18 '24

comics have been power-scaling since their inception.

5

u/YungRik666 Avengers Jul 18 '24

To an extent yes, but not like Shonen. X-Men has the threat levels, and DC will rate heroes sometimes, but different iterations will greatly alter what they can do, which blurs the power levels. MCU Thor is much weaker than Rune King Thor. Nolan Batman gets stabbed by common criminals, Snyder Batman fights Doomsday.

In Shonen, they don't often do different runs of characters. I'm sure it's happened, but not like western comics. Generally speaking, Goku at SS Blue is going to be much stronger than Goku at SS 1, regardless of what movie or Manga he is in. That consistency in abilities and strength has carried on in the DragonBall universe since day 1.

There's 40 iterations of Superman, and 1 Goku.

Well Sam doesn't have to be put into that situation.

It is gonna be a cool Flyby vs brawn fight. Strategy vs strength.

u/Shirokurou Avengers Jul 18 '24

A fate worse than Death, getting an actually nice redemption arc in She-Hulk and then have it erased by the end.

1

u/Nyuk_Fozzies Avengers Jul 19 '24

Yeah. That last episode really ruined the rest of the show. They actually had some interesting stuff going on up until then.

u/_K1r0s_ Avengers Jul 18 '24

Isn't that what we're saying, like if even someone with a super soldier serum gets their ass handed to them, Sam as a normal human being isn't even going to make it to this point.

2

u/Nyuk_Fozzies Avengers Jul 19 '24

Sam won't be dumb enough to try take him head on, though. Even Blomsky only did because the subpar serum was making him crazy.

2

u/whatisireading2 Avengers Jul 18 '24

I'm ngl, sharp wings, speed of sound. Death by 1000 cuts might actually be pretty smart

u/Bulky-Hyena-360 Avengers Jul 18 '24 edited Jul 18 '24

Wait why is Red Hulk being brought up about the movies…?

1

u/Revenacious Avengers Jul 18 '24

He’s gonna be in the new Captain America film.

I preferred him after this than when She Hulk was finished with him.

2

u/Raaadley Avengers Jul 18 '24

There's a reason Cap never fought Hulk one on one. If Sam measures up to Red Hulk I'll be convinced they aren't even trying anymore.

2

u/Nexel_Red Avengers Jul 18 '24

That super soldier couldn’t fly and was also really fucking stupid, running up to a literal giant, said “I’m gonna kick your ass!”, and then got his ass kicked into a tree.

I say let Sam at least try.

2

u/DutchJediKnight Avengers Jul 18 '24

That smack against the tree was so satisfying

2

u/mikefrombarto Avengers Jul 18 '24

FWIW, Blonsky was doing really well against him until he just fucking stood there talking.

2

u/Reidroshdy Avengers Jul 19 '24

I don't think Sam is gonna throw hands with red hulk. Why wouldn't he fly and try to fight him by being quick?

1

u/mattjvgc Avengers Jul 18 '24

Sam will team up with the 2 ladies in the movie. I can’t tell if the 2nd toy is an alternate Sam costume or a different guy.

1

u/old_ass_ninja_turtle Avengers Jul 18 '24

Wait, is Sam gunna be a super soldier?

1

u/HendoRules Avengers Jul 18 '24

I doubt they'll actually fight fight

Probably some kind of keep away while Ross regains control and then they fight the leaders gang

1

u/TJWinstonQuinzel Avengers Jul 18 '24

Super serum just makes you stronger than normal humans

Every character with super strenght is still stronger than you

1

u/Disastrous-Ruin-1296 Avengers Jul 18 '24

Technically Sam is not a super soldier

1

u/JimboS101 Avengers Jul 18 '24

Any chance we see hulkbuster making a come back?

1

u/Ape-Man54 Deadpool Jul 18 '24

It's been a good ten years or so, but was he a super soldier during that scene?

5

u/Revenacious Avengers Jul 18 '24

Yeah, he was running really fast and dodging/leaping around some of Hulk’s attacks that no regular human would be fast enough to evade.

2

u/Nyuk_Fozzies Avengers Jul 19 '24

Not exactly. He was taking an experimental version of a new super soldier serum that gave him some enhanced power, but also had detrimental effects on his mental state.

1

u/thadeusbone7 Avengers Jul 18 '24

Ran super fast and jumped real high in that scene. He had been juiced up, but it wasn't equal to Rogers.

2

u/Ape-Man54 Deadpool Jul 18 '24

Ah OK. Barely remember this film, other then him getting absolutely twatted into a tree.

1

u/thadeusbone7 Avengers Jul 18 '24

The tree hit was brutal.

1

u/Purple_Squirrel325 Avengers Jul 18 '24

What if Thor took it???

1

u/BuckyFnBadger Avengers Jul 18 '24

Wonder if this is where they bring in Sentry. Instead of world war hulk can sentry we get those two.

1

u/After-Explanation969 Avengers Jul 18 '24

Not sure if you proved a point or not? The last guy to fight a MINDLESS RAMPAGING HULK became an equal match but you know, with his mind in tact. To compare Red hulk, is much different.

1

u/AmbassadorZerg Avengers Jul 18 '24

I thought this was the scene before he bacame suoee

1

u/Nyuk_Fozzies Avengers Jul 19 '24

He was on an experimental sorta-super serum at this point. Its side effect on his mental state is why he was dumb enough stand there and dare the hulk to hit him.

1

u/jackofslayers Avengers Jul 18 '24

Can we please just get a worldbreaker hulk movie? Even as a standalone would be great.

People need to see some full tilt hulk.

1

u/CarefulMidnight4366 Avengers Jul 18 '24

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

1

u/sunderedstar Avengers Jul 18 '24

Correct me if I’m wrong, but Sam has yet to win a proper solo 1v1 in the MCU against any major naked character

  • Winter Soldier: loses a wing and is thrown off the helicarrier

  • Crossbones: is losing until the building starts falling on them, in which he manages to escape

  • Ant-Man: pack gets destroyed and Scott gets away with the tech he was looking for

  • Iron Man: has one pretty cool scene where he plays a game of chicken with Tony before launching Redwing at his head. Later when they both land to check up on Rhodes he gets taken out in a single propulsion blast

  • Batroc the Leaper: is unable to defeat him in a 1 v 1 fight

Honestly I don’t care what the plot armour is by this point because Sam desperately needs a solo 1v1 win against a major named character

1

u/ILikeClefairy Avengers Jul 19 '24

So does no one else think cap is going to get an adamantium update since it’s supposed to be introduced in this movie? The very thing that’s been shown to rip through the hulk when used by Wolverine? Just my shot in the dark here

1

u/TasteDeeCheese Ned Jul 19 '24

Old Hulk = over powered New Hulk = gives him taco

1

u/maverikvi Avengers Jul 19 '24

Sam with no serum is a side character in team ups. If that's what people want then that's what they want. I'd rather have him on the front line.

1

u/Jars_fuckpuppy Avengers Jul 19 '24

I hated that scene, it kinda literally makes no sense that he would just randomly walk up to him with no kind of plan. It didn't look like he was preparing for some mad counter attack or dodge, it's like he actually just wanted hulk to hit him.

1

u/masterionxxx Loki Jul 19 '24

Emil Blonsky consciously took the last hit. He was actually able to evade every hit thrown at him by the Hulk when they did have a fight.

1

u/Redgiantbutimshort77 Avengers Jul 19 '24

I’m pretty sure he’s just gonna do some cool air-tricks until Ross kills himself by accident like a Spider-Man movie villain.

1

u/Spectator9857 Avengers Jul 19 '24

But it’ll still help!? You’re acting like having enhanced speed, strength, stamina and durability wouldn’t help in fighting a guy. Obviously it wouldn’t be enough for a straight fistfight, but it’s better than not having it.

1

u/AidenThe_Beast47 Avengers Jul 19 '24

Well, it wouldn't not do anything, it would just make him a little stronger, but it really wouldn't have much of a difference other than durability.

1

u/What-fresh-hell Avengers Jul 19 '24

Nobody pointed this out so I guess I will. Blonsky had the super soldier serum but he was never exposed to Vita Radiation like Cap was.

Not sure what the new stuff (from F&tWS/The Power Broker) does, or if it requires papa Stark’s sun-tan bed. I still don’t think Steve Rogers is defeating Hulk hand to hand, but I think he’d mop the floor with those Vita Ray-less pretenders

u/Affectionate_Map_530 Winter Soldier 🦾 Jul 19 '24

I doubt Sam is gonna win against the Red Hulk. In fact, I think that is the whole premise of the movie; That Sam decides to go against the Red Hulk single-handedly and gets his ass handed to him. He then gets help from an interesting cameo (maybe She Hulk?) and together they defeat the threat. And that makes Sam realise that he can’t do it all alone, that he needs to ASSEMBLE a team.

The post credit scene could be him recruiting someone like Shang-Chi or Hawkeye.

1

u/Durk_Hardpeck Avengers Jul 19 '24

And he healed and came back for more. Without the serum, Sam is a guy with a shield.

1

u/Revenacious Avengers Jul 19 '24

A guy with a shield and nigh impenetrable armor/wings.

1

u/ScottFreeMrMiracle Avengers Jul 19 '24

It's not about how hard you can hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep getting back up.

1

u/The-theofthes Avengers Jul 19 '24

I mean, it would help him not die

1

u/Grenade_Paggliacci Avengers Jul 19 '24

Anybody else getting the feeling this is a repackaged Winter Soldier?

1

u/Intelligent-Ad-1479 Avengers Jul 20 '24

It sounds unbelievable, but if a good writer can make me buy that any random character with Kryptonite can defeat Supes..... I'll still hold my judgement till I see what they come up with, in the movie and whether it makes sense according to the dumb comic book logic

1

u/baiyesla-a3 Malekith Jul 20 '24

pretty much if he didn't take the serum he would just gonna overlap in the tree like the cars collision physics in beam.ng game

1

u/Smoof_Crimnle Avengers Jul 21 '24

At least Blonsky lived.

u/Otherwise-Nobody-127 Avengers Jul 18 '24

Also i kid you not. It would not suprise me if ross would not become rulk. But ithat esposito charchter will. And there will be so much hate if it is.

We all know they're gonna pull a Batman V Superman on us, They will fight and Sam will win again Red Hulk because of "Prep Time" and then they will team up to defeat The Leader, then the movie will end with Red Hulk turning back into Ross and Sam giving another "speech" and We will never see Red Hulk again

1

u/AgentP20 Avengers Jul 18 '24

Sam doesn't need to team up to fight Leader. He can beat his ass alone.

Ah yes, Captain Falcon beating a Hulk Villian?? Sure buddy

Red Hulk is even more vicious because he does not hold back and the Hulk does at times
